Its rubbish in its current form. Badley designed (ie you can walk through troops) levels I played were bland. Unless they make some pretty big changes I would avoid it.

This was at the 'GamesDay2006' I went to recently, the game actually looks pretty good. Although it does look as though the game is just a Warhammer mod for Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth.

On some of the machines they had, it looked as though it was struggling with a lot of the textures... but it may have been to the beating it got from all the players on them!

looks like they didnt follow the Dark Omen style game :<
Do they still have the unit "psychological effects" or has that been removed?

Units route, but what generally happened was both armies bum rush each other (no real point on holding units back) until they all start routeing. Its then a case of scrolling round the board finding were your remaining troops have gone and takeing objective points and killing the enemy. So basicly you main army lasts about 3 mins and the rest of the game is spent fighting with small fragments the remainder of your forces.

Controls were appaling aswell its very hard to tell if your special charecters are actually attacking.

Seems abit of a cash in tbh, which is a shame since the concept has some potential.

speaking of dark omen, anyone know of a way to get it to work on modenish systems? tried to run it (in windows 95 compatibility mode) and all i get is a flickery screen and lots of crashes after the 1st fight

yep
you can
a) run it on a w98 virtual machine, it works fine on there
or
b) :
When you start the game the EA logo and the intro is distorted.
1) Alt+Tab back to windows and then back into the game and it will look ok. 2) Go to the options and turn the following off
Colour Crusors
Hardware Rendering
3) Quit the game
4) Go to here and download the crusors
http://hjem.get2net.dk/gamewizard/files/do_orgcursors.zip
5) In the dark omen DIR, navigate to the folder:
\Graphics\Cursors
*Make a backup of this dir if you want
6) Extract the crusors to this dir, overwrite all the crusors
7) Start the game up again, if you get distortions on the logo Alt+Tab to windows and back again
8) Play the awesome game
